PURCHASER agrees not to impede the flow of water in and to existing water lines, tanks, or troughs that are on his property and grants ingress and egress to persons who need to maintain said improvements and wells which furnish water to the lines, tanks or troughs. Only those Purchasers who own an interest in an existing well shall have the right to use water from said well. SELLER is not obligated to furnish water to any existing water troughs or tanks. Ingress and egress is also granted to maintain the exterior fencing.
10. No tract may be subdivided without the express written consent of the SELLER. This restriction will not prevent the Texas Veteran's Land Board (TVLB) from deeding a tract to a veteran for the purpose of a home site.
11. PURCHASER shall be entitled to harvest the quota of animals, whether native or exotic, as determined by a competent game biologist. The initial quota shall be set by SELLER, based upon a current survey and recommendation and subsequent quotas shall be set by the Property Owner's Association, to be formed as provided below. No PURCHASER may harvest other than the aforementioned quota of animals. If a PURCHASER desires to harvest other than his quota of animals, he must secure prior approval of the SELLER or the Property Owner's Association. PURCHASERS who intend to harvest their quota agree to provide supplemental feed on their property in cooperation with other property owners.
12. Edwards County will never accept or maintain the roads in Trinidad Ranch. The roads in the subdivision will be maintained in perpetuity by the owners in the subdivision. PURCHASER acknowledges that the quality of the roads may affect access by public services such as police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS). In order to maintain the roads, entrance, and exterior fencing in the subdivision and maintain a sustainable animal population, PURCHASER hereby authorizes SELLER and/or Assigns to charge each property owner a maintenance fee $200.00 per tract per year. Such charge shall not be assessed against SELLER and/or Assigns. Such charge shall be made by direct billing to the property owner. If PURCHASER refuses to make said payments, PURCHASER hereby authorizes SELLER, at SELLER's option, to deduct such charge from payments made by PURCHASER, and any such charge so deducted will not be credited to the payment on the balance due on the purchase price, principal or interest. It is understood and agreed that this maintenance charge (if not paid within 60 days of billing date) shall become a lien against the tract being conveyed, permitting SELLER and/or Assigns such rights to enforce said liens as may be set forth in Sec. 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, as amended time to time.
13. SELLER shall notify each tract owner of the time, date, and a place of a meeting of all tract owners to be held for the purpose of organizing a Property Owner's Association. A majority of the votes of the tract owners in attendance at such meetings or by written proxy shall be sufficient to transact business at such meeting. Each tract owner, including SELLER, attending or represented by written proxy at such meetings shall have one vote for each tract owned by such owner on all business to come before the meeting. Upon the creation and organization of such organization, as non-profit corporation, or otherwise, SELLER shall transfer and assign to the association the current balance of the maintenance fees, if any. Thereafter such association shall have the power, authority and obligation to maintain the roadways of the development, manage the animal population, set the amount of the assessment, collect the assessment and enforce the restrictions filed for Trinidad Ranch. All such assessments upon any tract in the development shall become the personal obligation of the owners of such tract and such association is hereby granted a lien upon each lot to secure the payments of such assessments, permitting said association such rights to enforce said liens as may be set forth in Sec. 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, as amended time to time. It is understood that SELLER, or SELLER’S assigns, shall not be responsible for paying this assessment under any circumstances. In the event a lien has been placed on property to secure the payment of assessments and that property is repossessed or otherwise transferred to SELLER it is understood that all such liens will be released.
14. No deviation of any kind shall be permitted from these restrictions unless permission is granted in writing by the SELLER, or SELLER’S assigns.
